This interview takes place at the Violet Ray Gallery in Manhattan, New York where Joni's photographic exhibition, Green Flag Song, displayed September 25 through October 10, 2007.

Joni talks with CBS News Sunday Morning program's national correspondent, Russ Mitchell, about the days she used to pay for art school by playing music at coffee shops for $15. She also gives a brief tour of the exhibition and touches on her ballet production of The Fiddle and the Drum.

I fear one day she, and us, will get the devastating news that she has lung cancer (just like my Mom). When that happens, you don't live long (Peter Jennings, etc.)
Joni, if you happen to read this, you are so talented, why do you want to poison yourself? Please stop, before it's too late. Those tobacco companies don't care about your life, but we all do.
Just please quit. And be busy being free. Please stop.
